i2b2 Data Import Pathology Mapping v2

 LOINC has a lot more codes for the tests required and seems to provide a better match for the codes from the iLab system.  LOINC provides multiple codes for each test depending on the sample analysed (blood, or serum or plasma) and the units used (mass/volume, moles/volume, count/volume, etc).  The units for each test are recorded in iLab and so a match could be made.  Where available, both sample type codes were recorded so that Paul Smalley could be given a choice when he checked the results.
+
+=== Phase One (In Test)
+
+In phase one Richard Bramley and Paul Smalley mapped 68 codes out of the top 100 tests requested by GGH Cario Locations.  The tests that were not mapped were either administration codes (e.g., 'Add Another Test'), codes that represented a common group of other tests, or microbiology tests.
+
+=== Phase Two (In Development)
+
+The remainder of the codes commonly requested by GGH Cardio Locations - 407 codes in total, including those already mapped and admin codes.  This time Paul and Richard are to be joined by Simon Hewson, who will be better able to map microbiology tests.
+
+=== Phase Three... (In Planning)
+
+Map the remaining tests from the pathology system.
+
+There are 6 potential test results tables in the DWPATH data warehouse database.
+
+||= Table =||= Number of Tests Types =||= Test Type Column =||
+|| HAEM_TESTS || 1589|| Test_Code_Key ||
+|| MICRO_TESTS || 318|| Test_Code_Key ||
+|| BIOCHEM_TESTS || 0|| Test_Code_Key ||
+|| CLINIC_TESTS || 0|| Test_Code_Key ||
+|| MICRO_ORGANISM_TESTS |||| see below ||
+|| TRANS_PROFILE_TESTS || 99|| Test_Code_Key ||
+
+The MICRO_ORGANISM_TESTS table is a bit different to the rest (If it is a test result table at all).  It has two candidate test type columns: MICRO_ORGANISM and MICRO_ORGANISM_TESTS.  The second being the first one with a suffix.  The number of test types using the different candidate codes is:
+
+||= Table =||= Number of Tests Types =||= Test Type Column =||
+|| MICRO_ORGANISM_TESTS || 246855|| Test_Code_Key ||
+|| MICRO_ORGANISM_TESTS || 441453|| MICRO_ORGANISM_TESTS||
+
+This cannot be correct.  The MICRO_ORGANISM_TESTS column is unique.  I need to understand what this table represents.
